I've also noticed this problem with IE4.01, which I fixed for one user by upgrading to 128bit encryption. There is a fix available for "SGC cryptography" (q249863i.exe). This answers a question posted by James Lyon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) entitled "IE4 okay with latest mod_ssl" which is very much re

There is a bug with IE that restricts support to standard key lengths (ie. 512, 1024) only. A server-side work-around: 1) Generate a new standard length CSR. 2) Create a self-signed cert and test it out. 3) If this works, request a new key from a CA. This bug was fixed in IE 5.01. regards, S

I think I might have an idea ... I reckon MSIE (the version I'm using, v4) fails to cope with the server's attempt to negotiate the level of encryption. I think the following is fairly close to accurate: - Some browsers hit the server with 128-bit capability and get the 128-bit cert. Some olde

I've seen a similar problem -- have SuperCert from Thawte, no problems. But ... older IE (v4) that tries to work at 56bits bombs with error "in secure channel" and doesn't even send a GET request let alone view the site. Have posted this question a day or two ago, but no response(s) so far :-(
